Merton Way, Ponteland
A walkway leading to the Shopping Centre which was built on the former site of Ponteland Railway Station and Goods Yard Image The railway was built by the North Eastern Railway Company between 1904-05 running 7 miles from South Gosforth to Ponteland via Kenton Bank Foot. The section from the city to the airport is now part of the Metro network. The line to Ponteland was closed to regular passenger traffic in 1929 but casual use continued until 1967 when Richard Beeching instigated the National Rail Closures.
Ponteland had the largest goods yard on the line which was sited on the west side of the station. Facilities in 1920 included five sidings and a reversing loop, water tower, cattle dock and a large brick goods shed.

Two houses on the north side of Main Street
The houses are in Ponteland and face the Waitrose store there.
The centre section is unusual being presumably an addition to the left hand property - the brickwork is different. Also in that addition the upper floor window is raised, probably a necessity to accommodate the arch of the passage through to the rear.

Vicar's Pele Tower, Ponteland
The Vicarage Tower or Vicar's Pele was built around 1400. Pele Towers were defensive buildings constructed to provide defence during the border raids. It was formerly the residence of the vicars of Ponteland and in the C18th was incorporated into a much larger vicarage complex. This was demolished in 1860 although the tower was left as a harness room. The tower was restored in 1971 and 2002.
